Bachelor Degree in Biochemical Analysis
Mechanisms of progression of acute and chronic experimental renal diseases, and advanced electron microscopy techniques (scanning and transmission) to characterize the ultrastructural lesions associated with kidney diseases and to study the ultrastructure and function of the glomerular filter in physiological or pathological conditions.
Sara is a researcher in the Laboratory of Gene Therapy and Cellular Reprogramming of Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri IRCCS. She completed her Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemical Analysis at the University of Urbino. Since 2001 she has been working first as a research fellow then as a scientist. Currently, she performs tissue analysis with advanced electron microscopic techniques (scanning and transmission) to study the mechanisms of progressive renal injury and to characterize the ultrastructural lesions associated with kidney diseases.
Her role in the project will be the scanning electron microscopy analysis of bioprosthetic grafts and tissue-engineered blood vessels to study morphology properties and vascular cell adhesion.
